I was interested in the Seasucker Monkey Bars however I have a 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback w/ a moonroof. Can you tell me if this product can actually fit my roof without compromising security? Thanks.

The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B will work just fine on your 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback. Ideally, the 6" vacuum cups would mount on either side of the moonroof, but you can mount them anywhere on your roof's metal surface as they are very adjustable.

We have not tested this on your vehicle with a moonroof so I'm not positive if the moonroof can be opened or not, but it is very likely that the monkey bars, as well as any other roof rack, would interfere with the moonroof functionality. Just make sure you remove the roof rack before using your moonroof and you won't have an issue.
